We're up to 58 seats in the Senate. Not that it really matters, they'll still cave when it counts. But still... AP:
Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens has lost his bid for a seventh term. The longest-serving Republican in the history of the Senate trailed Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich by 3,724 votes after Tuesday's count. That's an insurmountable lead with only about 2,500 overseas ballots left to be counted.Oh, and as I wrote earlier, the comments function should be far easier now - you don't need to register, just click and comment.
Stevens, who turned 85 Tuesday, also revealed that he will not ask President George W. Bush to give him a pardon for his seven felony convictions.
